Me too! I thought it was really clever! I was bummed to hear that it's coming in the fall though. Guess I'll have to wait.

I did too...I enjoyed it so much...and I've had Don't Stop Belivin stuck in my head all day and last night too. :lol: It seems like it's going to be a very clever show with the potential for lots of great music too.


Yeah...I knew it was just a preview...I knew it was coming out in the fall. But it's gonna be a great show for the fall.

I hope it makes it!

It seems recently that many "clever" shows just don't stick around because they don't seem to be getting the viewers. "Kings" was another good show, which has been canned and probably won't be back. Reviewers such as Entertainment Weekly loved it and said it was a quality show. :shrug: Oh well, I guess.

So...I have a question...

WHF was talking to me about my birthday...which is in July...and he has a proposal for me...

He knows how much I've been wanting to go with my friend down to Florida, as she gets in for free, so all we'd have to pay for is air and hotel...which is roughly $800 total. I'd take half and she'd take half. I already have over half of my half saved...but, she...well...I don't think she's doing so well...

so I was going to offer to have her clean my house and we'd help her along...

well, back to the birthday thing...he offered to pay $400 for us to go and I could save the rest of it, meaning my friend wouldn't have to pay anything. He is quite alright with this and suggests that maybe she pay for our food while we're there.

Me...I love the idea...in theory. I mean I SOOO want to go with my friend...but I feel just a teensy bit guilty. That's a lot of money to spend on my birthday present...and I told him so. He says he was gonna be spending that much at least anyway and this is the best way he could see doing it, since he knows how much we both want to go.

Would I be crazy for taking him up on the offer? He says if I don't...he's just gonna spend that much (or maybe more) on something else? (Which I mean geez...that's a lot of money on just me...but apparently he's got his mind set on that...).

So...should I go?

What a sweet hubby!

I don't see an issue with YOU taking him up on that offer, if you guys can afford it. :)

However, you may want to talk to your friend about it and see how she genuinely feels. While it would be extremely generous and helpful to her, if I were her, I'm not sure I'd be 100% comfortable with it. But it would depend on the friend offering it to me, I suppose.

I don't know why anyone would ever in their right minds spend a dime on anything for you... but that's beside the point.

Nibbs, to put it in the simplest of terms... I've been struggling substantially financially since my paycut. Literally just not getting by; one night a few months ago there was going to be like a giant group of people all going out. We usually go out in a crew of 3-6. There was going to be a group of like 25 extended friends going out.

I had no way of affording it... none. Tom and Nick said they agreed to split the cost of me going out.

I am NOT okay with accepting charity or anything from people (to the point Tom, and my mother, have gotten mad at me, I'm stubborn.)

But they both said... "Look, it's probably an extra $20 for each of us to go out. I'd rather spend $20 to get to hangout with you for the night, than NOT hangout with you. The $20 is worth you coming out with us."

So my point is; WHF wants to spend the money on something that is going to make you happy. He also would rather do something out of the norm (like paying a buddy's way on a night out) to ensure you do get to go. The alternative of doing this might be you don't get to go at all... and therefore it is worth it to him to give you the money for THIS, as opposed to... jewelry and flowers and... whatever... because then you get to do what you truly want to do.

He wants to get you something to make you happy; not get you something for the sake of "oh it's your birthday and... I should spend 'x' amount of dollars." Which... is pretty awesome of him... this isn't just a birthday gift; it's him knowing what you truly want and doing something about giving you that.

Make sense?

I think I could have explained my thought better but I didn't get my coffee this morning... :shrug:

No...you explained it perfectly....you made me cry. :lol: Becuase you're right. That's what WHF's goal is...he just wants to make me happy.

I think he learned all those years ago that that's the best idea...you know...it beats giving me a fishtank for our anniversary...:lol: Which to me is a funny story...but to him probably was a bit of a slap in the face...

so ever since around that time, he's been trying to get me presents that are better...like this...things I truly want...and he knows I always want something Disney related.

He says this year's present is actually cheaper than my AP last year...by almost $100...:lol:


Thanks for your answer. It made perfect sense to me. :)

Yes...I understand...I want my friend to be ok with it too...of course. :)


I was actually going to talk to her about it today.
